Once, these creatures roamed over most of North America — except for arid desert and tropical forest regions. Now, however, the Endangered Species Act protects the wolves in the US (except for Alaska, where they are not endangered).

In 47 of the 48 lower states, the wolves are endangered; they are ‘threatened’ in Minnesota.

The federal government has reintroduced the gray wolves back into regions where they have been gone for generations. This has not been met with joy in all areas.

Not everyone is happy about the return of the gray wolf!
